  • Grodsky,Eric. Wisconsin. Spring 2016. Social Stratification
    Page 1 of 38 Sociology 923: Social Stratification Mondays, 2:10 to 4:40 PM, 6322 Sewell Office hours: Tuesday 2:30-3:30 or by appointment Instructor Eric Grodsky [email protected] 4454 Sewell Social Science Building Course Description This course is a graduate level seminar on social stratification. This is a difficult field to bound as it incorporates several subfields, including the study of gender, race/ethnicity, sociology of education and much of social demography. There’s a lot to cover. As a graduate seminar, this class relies heavily on your participation. I will seldom lecture, and when I do my lectures will be brief and most likely methodological in nature (enough information to get you through the readings). The substantive work of this course falls to you. I expect you to complete all of the readings on time, submit summaries in a timely fashion (described below), and attend every class unless you are SERIOUSLY ill or have some other very legitimate reason for not attending (religious, family emergency, etc.). You will take turns leading our discussions. Course format We will meet for 2 hours and 20 minutes each week, with a five-minute break somewhere in there. In addition to completing ALL of the readings that are required (denoted by a *), each of you will complete one or two article summaries most weeks. You will upload your summaries to the drop box on the course web page by 8:00 AM Friday each week. This will give your classmates time to review your summaries before we meet.

  • SOCIOLOGY 9191A Social Science in the Marxian Tradition Fall 2020
    SOCIOLOGY 9191A Social Science in the Marxian Tradition Fall 2020 DRAFT Class times and location Wednesday 10:30am -12:30pm Virtual synchronous Instructor: David Calnitsky Office Hours by appointment Department of Sociology Office: SSC 5402 Email: [email protected] Technical Requirements: Stable internet connection Laptop or computer Working microphone Working webcam “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.” – Karl Marx That is the point, it’s true—but not in this course. This quote, indirectly, hints at a deep tension in Marxism. If we want to change the world we need to understand it. But the desire to change something can infect our understanding of it. This is a pervasive dynamic in the history of Marxism and the first step is to admit there is a problem. This means acknowledging the presence of wishful thinking, without letting it induce paralysis. On the other hand, if there are pitfalls in being upfront in your desire to change the world there are also virtues. The normative 1 goal of social change helps to avoid common trappings of academia, in particular, the laser focus on irrelevant questions. Plus, in having a set of value commitments, stated clearly, you avoid the false pretense that values don’t enter in the backdoor in social science, which they often do if you’re paying attention. With this caveat in place, Marxian social science really does have a lot to offer in understanding the world and that’s what we’ll analyze in this course. The goal is to look at the different hypotheses that broadly emerge out of the Marxian tradition and see the extent to which they can be supported both theoretically and empirically.

Listeners were invited to the BBC website to see what class they were in. Within a few days there were over 50,000 hits on the site, a record for this sort of thing. At least for the segment of the British population that listens to the BBC morning news, class remains a salient issue. In the broadcast a number of people were interviewed. One police inspector responded to being told that he was now classified in Class I along with doctors, lawyers and chief executives of corporations, by saying “Does it mean now I have to wear tennis whites when I go out to do my gardening?....I don’t see myself socially or economically in the same class as them.” In a subsequent “live chat” program with Professor David Rose of Essex University, the principle designer of the new census categories, many people called up complaining about the coding scheme.

  • Some Problems in Erik Olin Wright's Theory of Class
    International Letters of Social and Humanistic Sciences Online: 2014-06-27 ISSN: 2300-2697, Vol. 33, pp 20-40 doi:10.18052/www.scipress.com/ILSHS.33.20 CC BY 4.0. Published by SciPress Ltd, Switzerland, 2014 Some Problems in Erik Olin Wright’s Theory of Class Jacek Tittenbrun Faculty of Social Sciences, Adam Mickiewicz University, Wieniawskiego 1, Poznań, Poland E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Nowadays, Erik Olin Wright’s class theory is one of the most influential approaches to social differentiation, although in the mainstream social science the popularity of the so-called EGP class scheme is perhaps greater, Wright’s framework has virtually no rivals amongst Marxists and neo- Marxists. Both those considerations add to the relevance of the present paper, which is a critical analysis of some of the most salient issues present in the aforementioned framework. Indeed, it turns out that Wright’s flaws are more often than not shared by the remaining theorists dealing with social class or stratification. Nomen omen, one of those problems consists in failing to adequately distinguish between those two axes of differentiation. Perhaps the pivotal problem plaguing Wright’s framework concerns his flawed understanding of ownership that cannot but reflect on his definition of class and exploitation. Keywords: class; ownership; control; exploitation; Wright 1. INTRODUCTION Wright’s class theory involves several problems worthy of a more in-depth analysis. The objective of the paper is thus not a comprehensive presentation of Wright’s framework, but, rather, a discussion of some of those theoretical issues it raises.

  • The Legitimization of Bureaucratic Personality: an Exegesis of Weberian Theory

Although lauded as one of the foundational thinkers within the discipline, Weber has become a figure to either be dismissed as promoting archaic theories, or a pessimistic thinker that saw no way out of the ‘iron cage’ of rationalization. The present article establishes an alternative reading of Weber that pays close attention to his materialist understanding of how bureaucratic forms of power become legitimized through their being embodied in the habits of social agents socialized in bureaucratic institutions. A sketch for a future pilot study will also be presented based off of this reading of Weber. Introduction When one thinks about bureaucracy today, the most common images that come to peoples’ minds are largely negative: red tape, inefficiency, and lack of human warmth or connection.

  • Kearney 475 Syllabus Spring 2015
    Classical Sociological Theory Sociology 475 Spring 2015 Class meetings: 2:30-3:45 P.M. Mondays and Wednesdays Classroom: Ingraham 214 Instructor: Matthew Kearney E-mail: [email protected] Office location: Sewell Social Science Building, Room 3455 Office hours: 4-6 P.M. Mondays Introductory Comments This course has two complementary goals: 1. Students will learn how to construct theoretical arguments about empirical material. 2. Students will learn the basic concepts and approaches of canonical social theorists. Throughout the semester, we will attempt to bring these two goals together. That is, we will draw on canonical approaches in the process of constructing our own arguments about society. This means we understand what major theorists say, critique what they say, and then – potentially – modify their arguments to construct our own explanations of social phenomenon. The premise of this course is that we will construct better explanations after we have seriously studied the classical sociological theory. Notice that serious canonical study is not our end goal; it is only the first step. It is not enough to interpret the classical theories; the point is to change them. The class discussions, lectures, and paper assignments all aim at this goal: using the classical theorists to come to our own understanding of society. The fact that we are authorized to disagree with or modify canonical concepts does not mean we should do so lightly. We have to do serious study first, and we need to take that word 'serious' seriously. We do not discard a social theory until and unless we have an alternative theory of comparable scope with which to replace it.

Intergenerational Mobility across Levels of Schooling in the United States1 Florencia Torche New York University A quarter century ago, an important finding in stratification research showed that the intergenerational occupational association was much weaker among college graduates than among those with lower levels of education. This article provides a comprehensive assessment of the “meritocratic power” of a college degree. Drawing on five longitudinal data sets, the author analyzes intergenerational mobility in terms of class, occupational status, earnings, and household income for men and women. Findings indicate that the intergenerational association is strong among those with low educational attainment; it weakens or disappears among bachelor’s degree holders but reemerges among those with advanced degrees, leading to a U-shaped pattern of pa- rental influence.

Hammond DRAFT TEN Social Movements and Struggles for Socialism John L. Hammond [10.0] Social movements are the means by which masses of oppressed people struggle for social change. Relatively powerless people can amass and accumulate power, challenge their subordination, and win concessions from or overthrew existing power structures. The large numbers and strong commitment of participants can sometimes compensate for their lack of power. But they do more than struggle for power. They empower the participants themselves, create collective consciousness and organiza- tion, and shape the culture of the society in which they act. Participation in a social movement is a collective activity and thus is itself part of the preparation for life under socialism. [10.1] In this paper I examine the ways in which social movements can con- tribute to the struggle for socialism.

  • How Class Works in Popular Conception: Most Americans Identify with the Class Their Income, Occupation, and Education Implies for Them∗
    Final February 2007 How Class Works in Popular Conception: Most Americans Identify with the Class Their Income, Occupation, and Education Implies for Them∗ Michael Hout University of California, Berkeley Abstract Americans’ answers to questions about their social class show (1) awareness that class is an important aspect of American life and (2) reasonable patterns of strong associ- ation between subjective class identification and objective criteria like income, occu- pation, and education. Multivariate analysis of those responses shows that (3) class ambivalence and ambiguity is an issue for Americans whose jobs and incomes are inconsistent with their educations but (4) little evidence that other identities compete with objective class in forming class identities and (5) none of the trends that post- class theories suggest. Finally, subjective class identification correlates with a number of political attitudes and lifestyle indicators in ways that are consistent with canonical ideas about how class works. ∗This is a revision of the paper I presented at the conference “Social Class: How Does It Work?” held at New York University, 21-22 April 2006, sponsored by New York University and the Russell Sage Foundation. I thank Neil Fligstein, Michele Lamont, Annette Lareau, Jeff Manza, Erik Olin Wright, and two anonymous referees for their comments. Neither funders nor colleagues are responsible for the conclusions, opinions, or errors in this final version. 1 Introduction Marx and Engels founded class analysis with their famous claim, in The Communist Manifesto, that “The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggle.” Class analysts have struggled ever since to live down the founders’ boldness.
